Happy Winterfest knights!

It’s time again for Impostoclaus to bring delight and festive fun. Visit his helper, Randolph, near the fountain in Haven to exchange tokens for festive helms, winter confetti, and snowballs.

Help Impostoclaus deliver presents to the children of Emberlight. Feed him milk and cookies to keep him strong. Protect him from Grinchlins and collect Winter Wish tokens.

Those pesky Gremlins say "Humbug!" and plan to stop Impostoclaus and destroy Winterfest! Help Impostoclaus stop them from destroying Winterfest with two daily prestige missions.

Raid the Grinchlin stronghold on Mount Krampus during the Grinchlin Assault Prestige Mission to stop them from ruining Winterfest! Make your way through the compound, all the way to the summit to find special 4* Solstice Ring trinkets. Combine them together to make the 5* Grand Solstice Ring trinket!

Delve into the Clockworks for Winterfest danger rooms! Collect Frozen Winterfest Wishlist tokens and exchange them with Randolph in Haven. He has a new Winterfest Present that contains tasteful new holiday pullovers and cheery onesies.

While these items look frozen solid on the outside--for camo reasons, and also because it looks formidable--they're mighty toasty on the inside. Think of them as Cradle's most efficient travel coffee mug. Take care with the new permafrost aura as it may leave a puddle in warmer places.

The insidious Apocrea Harvester returns to Cradle to trap and harvest souls. This sinister being will pursue any soul who enters the Grasping Plateau to add to the collection.
